And when they are playing against guys, where their talent is CLEARLY superior…they show you how much POTENTIAL they have.

However….when they play against guys where the talent is equal or their opponent is more talented (as in this case)……they TOTALLY DISAPPEAR AND DON”T EVEN TRY !

Mayo was “SELF-CHECKED” the entire game! He couldn’t dribble, he forgot how to throw a simple bounce pass, he couldn’t make a lay-up and he didn’t even play tough defense !

I mean, I respect guys like John Stockton because he was NEVER the most athletic or talented player on the floor…..BUT you were not going to out hustle him and he wasn’t gonna back down from a challenge.

Conversely…the heart Stockton had as a player is absent in OJ Mayo and Joe Johnson…..total PONKS in the face of a challenge.
